Star of the big screen…and cruise videos

Owen Wilson, movie star. You know, the one with the bent nose. Well, he is now starring in cruise videos in Australia.

Wilson is appearing in videos for P&O’s new ships Pacific Aria and Pacific Eden (actually, they are former Holland America ships). The new clips shows off the ships’ live music venue Blue Room, the retractable roof over the pool, the restaurants and the adults-only deck.

Entitled The Conspicuous Awakening of Owen Wilson, the unconventional videos are reminiscent of the actor’s films, like The Darjeeling Limited.

Will we see the videos here?

No, according to a spokesperson who says they were designed for the Australian market (I bet you could find them on YouTube):

“The promotion represents the latest push under the cruise line’s Be Free Earthlings campaign, in Australia which debuted last year and will continue in the near future.”

Meanwhile, Wilson himself has never cruised but then, that never stopped an actor from doing a commercial, did it?
